Regular City Council Meeting Monday, Apri126, 2010 Page 12 Councilmember Roe noted that tonight's discussion had enlightened his under- standing of this specific property and other issues at the property, including ani- mal control, unpaid utility bills, no rental registration of the property, and no snow shoveling during the winter; opining that the garbage issue appeared to be a symptom of a larger issue, and in order to consider all segments of the larger is- sue, it was key to track down the property owner. Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, directing staff to abate the above-referenced public nuisance violations of City Code at 1748 Galtier Street by hiring general contractors to remove garbage stored in bags but not in a trash receptacle; as de- tailed in the RCA dated April 26, 2010, at an estimated cost of approximately $250.00; and further directing that the property owner be billed for all actual and administrative costs; and if those charges remain unpaid, staff is to recover costs as specified in Minnesota Statute, Section 407.07B; with costs to be reported to the City Council following the abatement. Staff was further directed to further research the current address of the property owner, and to return to the City Council for authorization of further action if needed. Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Johnson; Roe; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. e. Adopt a Resolution Approving a Policy for Reviewing and Approving Solar Energy Systems in Roseville Two bench handouts were distributed related to this item, consisting of an e-mail from Susan Weum and staff response to that a-mail; and revised draft resolution entitled, "A Resolution Establishing a Policy for Review and Approval of Resi- dential Solar Energy Systems;" resulting from comments with that property own- er. City Planner Thomas Paschke summarized the RCA dated April 26, 2010 and the model ordinance drafted from a MPCA template as a starting point for the City in reviewing these requests. Discussion included aesthetic versus technical structural analysis or industry stan- dards for clearances; general Council support of use of solar energy, while recog- nizing and anticipating any unintended consequences; existing solar units in- stalled to-date through permit or without permit and how they comply with this proposed policy; implications for the City's zoning ordinance rewrite; considera- tions for such requests from a Building Permit and/or land use reference; and this policy serving as an interim solution.
